Once within the academy, the students weren't able to get outside unless they had been permitted due to special reasons and one of those was being volunteered to do work tasked by the school's head.

Another one was about the few selected knighthood students who were tasked to observe the people around the market, and there were just a few like the business students who would like to analyze what kind of business was the current trend on the market.

However, they would be our current seniors and for me, Cain, and Lexus, we would be seniors by next year as we were currently juniors by now.

"So Vestia, are you prepared for the project we will be doing for Sir Thomas?"

"I guess you are probably ready but I already finished," I said with a chuckle

"What? How come? It's only been a week and you already found a medicine that is exactly like the Grewish?"

"Well, I kind of have a hobby of experimenting with medicines ever since I grew fond of it and I just happened to create it a day after Sir Thomas announced the project"

"But how could you, Vestia? You knew I wasn't good at medicines... that's why we were all paired up by two students in one project"

"Then consider yourself lucky you have been partnered with me, or should I call you by your fake name?"

"I prefer you call me by my real name, Vestia. You know that..." I chuckled and I swiftly moved away from him after claiming the book I wanted from a bookshelf within the academy's grand library.

"So if you want to know since we would be illustrating them in front of the entire class, I guess you still have time to do the project on your own, Henry and I would see if it would be excellent or not"

"So what if it's not excellent, Vestia?"

"That's why you always have to repeat your subjects, Henry, and besides, aren't you challenged that Claudius is already ahead of you?"

"Who cares about him? I already have been ahead on knighthood, or would you rather let me teach you about swords?" He leaned in closer with a smirk on his face and I just sighed and pushed him away from where he was already cornering me.

"You're sometimes naughty, by the way, you have to finish that before I go to look at you again, Henry," I whispered and immediately ran away from the library leaving him behind with a small book I managed to grab.

Chuckling my way toward the garden, I saw two figures, silhouettes of a familiar person and a noblewoman in front of him.

I wasn't going to eavesdrop anyway and would sit on the large tree but what I heard widened my eyes.

"Your Highness, please take this..."

"You know that I have a fiance, Lady Annabella, so why would you give me that?"

"I just wanted to confess my feelings toward you, your highness, besides, rumors were going around that you don't even like a young lady like her who was surrounded by young men, you see——"

Before the lady could finish her words, when she suddenly looked at Caliere it seemed like her whole world had stopped.

Her lips continued to quiver, the same with her whole body, and before she knew what she was doing, he had already taken a few steps in front of her that made the young lady stumble on the grasses.
